Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30
The AirTAC Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke. Air pushes the rod and an internal spring returns it, so one solenoid line drives the motion — ideal for short-stroke clamping and ejection in tight spaces.

About the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30
The AirTAC SSA32X30 is a compact single-acting push-type cylinder where air pressure extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It generates 346.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, with the return spring force already subtracted from the raw air force. This 32 mm bore unit uses a 12 mm rod and a PT1/8 port.
Because it requires only one air line and one solenoid port to drive the motion, you cut down on fittings and simplify your valve setup. The short riveted body saves axial mounting depth in tight fixtures, while a fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke shock without needing adjustment.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30 |
|---|---|
| Series | SSA compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M6×1.0 female / M10×1.25 male (B) |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed NBR bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 30 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC SDA-family datasheet. Single-acting types start at 0.2 MPa (the spring must be overcome). Confirm against the product label before installation.
Net Output Force (Ø32mm, Push)
| Pressure | Push force (net) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 347 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 508 N |
These are NET output forces — the return-spring force is already deducted. Single-acting push only; the spring performs the opposite stroke. Size with a safety margin.

Thread: PT standard. SSA pushes out / spring returns; STA pulls in / spring extends. Related: SDA (double acting), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30 Is Used
Stamping Ejection
Uses the 346.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa to eject small stamped metal parts from a die, relying on the spring return to reset quickly.
Inline Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons off a main conveyor belt into a side lane, taking advantage of the 30 mm stroke and single-line plumbing.
Pallet Snugging
Briefly extends to square up boxes against a pallet wall before strapping, with the compact riveted body fitting into tight conveyor gaps.
Is the Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the SSA25 yields 216.9 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SSA40 provides 545.6 N. This SSA32X30 configuration reaches the 30 mm maximum standard stroke ceiling for the series. It operates between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa, needing at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, so it cannot accept position sensing switches. It features a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread. Keep in mind that upon air loss the spring drives the rod back to its rest position; it will not hold a mid-stroke load without external live pressure or a locking device.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 30 mm (single-acting limit)
- ✓ Single air line saves a valve/port
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Remember the spring performs the return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SSA Single-Acting Compact Cylinder SSA32X30 FAQ
The net push force is 346.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 507.5 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures already account for the internal return spring resistance, giving you a real design value. A safe working load is roughly 208 N, allowing for a vertical lift of about 17.7 kg with a 2:1 margin.
No. As a single-acting push cylinder, the internal spring retracts the rod to its rest position when air is released. It does not lock or hold a load mid-stroke. You must maintain at least 0.2 MPa operating pressure to overcome the spring and keep the rod extended.
